the Italian manner. Both stu

As in the traditional Italian
style, a festival will follow the
wedding. This will be a talent

talented members of the student
body.
BSU council members say the
party is strictly a party-dress af
fair. Men should wear coats
and ties.

Friendship Is
Shown By Youth
A young college student with
a zeal for correcting mistaken
impressions of America is doing
much to turn once-hostile for
eign exchange students into
“Ambassadors for Friendship,”
the February Reader’s Digest re
ports.
The student is Harry Morgan,
25, a Rutgers University senior
and president of the student
body of the New Brunswick, N.
J. School.
Three years ago Morgan be
gan to bring to the United
States small groups of average
but critical Europeans. With
financial support from friends
and strangers who bought
“shares” at $1 each, he arranged
for the visitors to see the heart

Siluer Cord 1$
To Be Presented
The Silver Cord, by Sidney
Howard to be presented by five
readers at the next meeting of
the Dramateers, is the story of
Mrs. Phelps, read by Brenda

er. Her son, Rob, read by
John Morrow, is a playboy

gaged to a young dancer, Hester,

maid is read by Tricia Butte.
The plot centers around Mrs.
Phelps desire to keep her sons
tied to her apron strings. The
jday is to be presented February

Creative Papers
Being Assigned
With the beginning of the
spring semester comes the as
signments of creative papers in
all the English classes. This as
signment will serve two pur
poses. First it is a regular class
assignment which receives a
grade from the teacher. Second,
it is an opportunity to exhibit
the creative talent that has not
been expressed before. This is
possible through the Hilltop
“Literary Edition.”
The type of creative paper is
optional. Style, originality, and
freshness can make a mediocre
situation appear unusual and in
teresting. Topics for the paper
can range from the home-town
character to figments of the stu
dents’ imagination.
The “Literary Edition” is dis
tributed each year to numbers
of colleges, universities, and
friends of the college. It is
the hope of the staff that the
1960 “Literary Edition” will be
one of which all contributors
can be proud.
Dickey Chapelle, well known writer, photographer and foreign
respondent will speak tonight in the Mars Hill College auditorium at
8 o clock. Miss Chapelle returned last December from the Far East.
For the past few months she has been assigned to the Seventh Fleet
in the China waters where she has witnessed at first-hand the situation
there and how our Navy is handling it.
Dickey Chapelle was one of several correspondents who were per
mitted to be with the Castro army
in Cuba, and she spent all of
December, 1958, with them when
the really decisive battles were
being fought (the five battles of
Oriente Province and the capture
of the vital Central Highway).
Her account of this was published
in April Reader’s Digest.
Again from August to Septem
ber, 1959, she went to Cuba on
a special assignment for the Read
er’s Digest, and she has some very
revealing accounts of what has
happened since the revolution.
This report was published in
Reader’s Digest.
Miss Chapelle has had a fabu
lous career as a newspaper woman,
photographer, and foreign corre
spondent. When we were plunged
into World War II she received
her first assignment as a war cor
respondent with the Caribbean
Command. In 1945 she went to
Okinawa.
Following the war, she was
made a senior editor of Seventeen.
From 1958-50 she was the first
woman correspondent with the
Point 4 Program of the State De
partment. This took her behind
the Iron Curtain. She also served
with the American Friends Com
mittee in Europe, the Middle East,
and India.
In the fall of 1956 she went
into Hungary to help the people
there and was imprisoned. She
was the only woman journalist
to return from a Red Terror
Prison. From December, 1957, to
February, 1958, she was the only
woman journalist on the Russian,
Bulgarian, Syrian Frontiers ac
credited to the Turkish Army.
She covered the U.S. Fleet in
the Mediterranean and was the
first American newspaper reporter
accredited to the Algerian Rebel
Army. Then in June, 1959, she
preceded our troops into Lebanon
and remained there until Septem
ber. Miss Chapelle is the only
woman reporter to cover four revo
lutions in two years—Hungary,
Lebanon, Alberia, and Cuba.
